Summary:
The Otro is probably the most beautiful canyon in Valsesia, featuring some spectacular gorge sections, needs to be bolted

Access:

Approach ():

Tour ():
The canyon is divided into two sections. The first part is locally known as "Caldaie d'Otro". At the end of this section, a path provides an easy escape route. From here, several smaller waterfalls lead into the final gorge (inforramento), which features the most technical and aquatic passages. The descent ends right in town with a final 30–35 m waterfall. The canyon is currently partially unbolted / not equipped.
